Premium Member Campsite Breakfast

“Wake up, breakfast is cooking.”
Bacon in cast iron skillet,
sounds and smells, wafted through the tent.
“Coming”, the crackling bacon got me!

Pointless

Would it be considered a fail;
to be pointless and to no avail,
to act and conspire,
around a campfire,
to tell a bald bloke a hair-raising tale.

The campfire crackled
As old friends tackled
The problems of the day

The problems weren’t solved
But everyone involved
Felt they had melted away

crackling noises
the only sounds of the night
I stared into the oranges and yellows
a therapeutic campfire that commanded silence
my thoughts sacred

What Is the Greatness of Man

Man,
The self proclaimed genius,
Figuring out the best way to build a campfire,
And then announcing to the stars
That he is on equal footing with the gods.

A little campfire to keep us warm,
In a sleeping bag with plenty of thrills,
Shared body heat in the cold Scottish hills.

Long Ago In the British Empire

Long ago in  the British empire,
Lived extremely gentle vampire.
He, before lay in a coffin,
Loved to drink cup of coffee
And sing songs with guitar by campfire.

Camping

Sky’ turning from sun rising morning dew. 
Camping in the woods green lit sparkly view.
Starting a campfire to make breakfast. 
Then to the lake fishing for greatness.

Fun In the Sun

Going to the creek,
Jumping off the peak.

Sitting around the campfire,
Eating s'mores and getting tired.

Going to the beaches,
And picking off leaches.

Melting campfire delite is right
We'll vibe tales to heat our bones
Singing in the dead of night
Passionate lips caress
While igniting the power of mind
Reality all nonsense

     In wispy circles the smoke ascended
        from a campfire that just ended

     Embers yet glowing from below
        from tales of ghosts and marshmallows

-campfire Blue

If Campfire Blue was a crayon,
i’d color the sky,
I’d color the water,
I’d color the blue things,
until the color was gone,
leaving scorch marks in my brain,
and on my heart.

Grateful for the old one’s tales,
Admiration and love in their lore.
Gleaned delicately in orange glow.
Natural extension of campfire magic.
Love crackling through hot popping embers.

Love On The Riverbed

He pitched a tent on her banks
Her teeth clenched as pegs dug deep
Campfire sparks, heat's erecting 
The winds howling in lost flight

by the glow of the campfire
we were free and had no worries
we thought the summer would never end

Good Living

Give me a log cabin, cooking over a campfire
                        Birds, bears and other critters for the population
                    Heaven on Earth, a five gallon bucket full of good living

Morning Camp

hushed morning sun
dappling through the wood smoke
wake up! smell the toast!


Sundown Camp

embers glowing hot
s'mores branches whittled sharp
oops! marshmallow flame!
